Very skillful hands 2014

How lawyer Egorov became a YouTube star, talking about incredible life hacks

The untimely deceased, but eternally famous TV program “Very Skillful Hands” is being replaced by new heroes who can make impressive things from plastic bottles, rubber bands and Moment glue no worse than Timur Kizyakov and Andrei Bakhmetyev.

Lawyer Maxim Egorov became a YouTube star, creating incredible gadgets, tools and even weapons with his own hands from scrap materials and construction waste.

Every time the topic of the inevitability of nuclear war comes up in the media or social networks, people think about their own skills that will ensure their safety in the post-apocalyptic era. As bloggers rightly note, lawyer Egorov is definitely the type of person who would win the Fallout game if it happened in the real world.

Egorov runs his own channel on YouTube , where he shares educational videos in three areas: fishing, gardening and “Do it yourself.” In the first two categories, he did not do very well in terms of popularity: despite useful tips like “Camping radiator: how to heat a tent before the morning” and “How to increase the potato yield by dividing a tuber,” these videos received about 50 thousand views on average.

But Egorov’s “Very Skillful” videos section was in particular demand. On June 22, she, as they say, bombed: a video about a “bottle cutter,” a device for cutting rope from plastic bottles, hit the top of YouTube and gained over 1 million views in less than two weeks.

As it turned out, Egorov has qualities that are rare for modern video bloggers: he does not distract attention with unnecessary inserts with jokes, dances or music. He immediately starts talking to the point, rarely appears on camera (only when you need to demonstrate something), his knowledge is truly unique and useful, and you want to listen to his calm, insinuating voice.

Take, for example, a video about chicken eggs and stands for them. Egorov not only talks about a way to mix the insides of an egg without breaking it, but also clarifies that the method he read on one of the sites did not have enough information: according to Egorov, this caused negative reviews from readers of the resource.

But the blogger doesn’t stop there: he shares options for using this life hack - for example, you can surprise friends or give an original gift for Easter - and then tells you what date Easter will be this year. Three in one!

For those who still doubt Egorov’s chances of surviving a zombie invasion or the outbreak of a civil war, there is an example of instructions for making a knife. Egorov honestly warns: “The blade is obviously made of stainless steel, and I myself don’t understand how I welded St3 steel to it.”

If the knife wasn't convincing enough, the next video should break all the mold. Egorov shows how you can use PVC pipes, siding inserts and the influence of an electric hair dryer to make a bow, which, apparently, has the same characteristics as a long Scottish one.

Egorov himself, with this bow in his hands in a natural environment, looks not just like the Sherwood robber, not like the elf Legolas - at least he hits the target no worse.

Other videos by Egorov make eyebrows rise just from the titles alone: ​​for example, “ How to make a Jew’s harp from a nail ” and “ How to make a ring with the coat of arms of the USSR from a coin .” For what? Because Egorov can.

Maxim Egorov was born in St. Petersburg in 1979, where he still lives. Judging by his page on VKontakte , in his free time he likes to hike, fish and play billiards.

What is noteworthy is that Egorov actually provides legal services in the firm named after him. In addition to supporting cases in court, the Lawyer Egorov company also deals with matters closer to the world of the Internet: for example, web design and SEO optimization.
